Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Back by Demand: HR, We Have a Problem - Why most training programs fail to drive behavior change and the simple tools that can triple success rates.

Q: How do you approach designing learning programs to ensure they lead to real change?

By focusing on the organizational and individual why, ensuring a three-to-one content-to-context ratio, using accountability mechanisms, and enabling ongoing reflection and cohort-based reinforcement to sustain change.

Q: What does the near-term look like for retirement and compliance in 2026?

HR, We Have a Problem - The real compliance playbook for 2026 and why the One Big Beautiful Bill, AI legislation, and retirement plans can no longer be managed in isolation.

Q: What kinds of changes are you seeing from an AI perspective?

There's a shift toward state-level AI legislation with privacy protections expanding and a focus on frontier AI models, while federal guidance remains relatively sparse for now; organizations need to monitor state trends and prepare for a landscape where AI use inside companies is governed by privacy and accountability rules.

Q: How can organizations reduce anxiety around AI adoption?
